Michael Moncek opened to 120,000 from the cutoff. Terrance Reid then three-bet to 400,000 from the small blind, and Moncek jammed when action was back on him. Reid didn't take too long before making the call.
Michael Moncek: Q♠Q♥ 
Terrance Reid: 7♦7♣
Reid was dead on the turn of the 6♥8♠A♥Q♣6♠ runout as Moncek doubled with a boat.
Bobby James opened to 120,000 from the cutoff, and Ricky Landais shoved 340,000 on the button. The blinds folded and James made the call.
Ricky Landais: A♣K♣
Bobby James: A♦9♠
The dealer put out a four card flop of 6♦K♦5♦4♥ As per WSOP rules, the four cards were shuffled, and one was picked at random to be used as the second burn. Brutally for Landais, his pair was chosen as the 4♥6♦5♦ flop was established. The 8♥ turn gave James extra outs, and both the table and commentators gave their sincere commiserations as the disgusting 7♣ river gave James a straight, and ended Landais' bracelet dreams.
"Magic" John Cynn, a past world champion, ended a four-year drought of no live tournament cashes on Wednesday at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
The Chicago-area native avoided the bubble in Event #17: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship when Jon Shoreman busted in 31st place just after the Day 2 dinner break. In doing so, the 2018 WSOP Main Event winner secured his first cash in any tournament — not just at the WSOP — since July 2022.
Michael Moncek opened to 120,000 from the cutoff. Alexis Cruz Martinez then flatted A♣9♣ on the button, before big stack Zdenek Zizka put in a three-bet to 465,000. Moncek announced all in covering both players, Cruz Martinez folded and Zizka quickly called.
Zdenek Zizka: J♠J♦
Michael Moncek: A♠5♦
The 8♠8♥K♦7♦6♣ runout was clean for Zizka who accepted the massive double.
Max Neugebauer opened to 120,000 from early position. Ricky Landais moved all in for just 155,000 from the big blind and Neugebauer put in the call.
Ricky Landais: A♥3♦
Max Neugebauer: J♥10♠
Despite eliminating Andrew Moreno with jack-ten offsuit, Neugebauer couldn't repeat the feat as his flopped top pair lost to Landais' better turned pair on the 2♥2♠J♦A♠9♠ runout.
On another table, Kharlin Sued was eliminated.
Thomas Eychenne woke up short-stacked on the button, and raised to 120,000 off a 500,000 stack. Fabian Gumz in the big blind thought for a while before moving all in. Eychenne snapped him off for his tournament life.
Thomas Eychenne: J♥J♣
Fabian Gumz: A♥7♦
The 10♦7♠9♠5♠5♣ didn't give Eychenne too much of a sweat, as he held on to double.
Chris Brewer limped in from the small blind with A♦7♦ and Thomas Eychenne checked his option with 10♣6♦
Brewer flopped massive on 3♦4♦7♠ picking up top pair and the nut flush draw. When action checked through, Eychenne's gutshout improved to a double gutter, as the 9♣ kept him interested in the hand. He called a 120,000 bet from Brewer, only for the 8♦ to roll off on the river.
Brewer played trappy, checking his rivered nut flush over to Eychenne, and Eychenne bet exactly pot for 420,000. Brewer then check-raised to 2,100,000, leaving only 85,000 behind. After a tank, Eychenne reluctantly made the call and saw the bad news, as he was left with less than ten big blinds.
Roman Hrabec opened to 125,000 from early position, and Elijah Berg shoved 765,000 on the button. Hrabec got a count before putting in the call.
Elijah Berg: A♣Q♥
Roman Hrabec: 7♠7♦
The 4♠10♥10♦6♣10♠ gave Hrabec tens full to increase his chip lead, and knock out Berg.
Micah Raskin limped in from the small blind and Chris Brewer checked his option.
Raskin check-called a 60,000 flop bet from Brewer on A♥2♥3♣ which brought in the 2♣ turn. Brewer slowed down with a check, and action checked through again on the 5♣ river. Raskin's 10♠8♥ couldn't beat Brewer's rivered pair with 7♦5♦
Cliff Josephy opened the action with a raise to 120,000 from early position while Terrance Reid defended his big blind, and the two went off to a J♣K♥3♥ flop. Action went check-check on both the A♦ turn and 10♠ river.
Josephy showed that the board kept getting worse for his 8♣8♠ and Reid took the pot down with A♥5♦ for top pair.
